Electrolysis in gold extraction:

Dear friends of the channel,
This is a single-cell electrolysis system.
With this setup, it's easy to precipitate gold chloride or cyanide gold at the cathode.

A voltage of 5 volts and 10 amps is suitable for this cell.
You can also use 30 or even 40 amps without any problem.
In fact, using higher amperage can help prevent your power supply from overheating, especially when the concentration of the electrolyte is high.

If you're using this method to extract gold from mineral ore, it's best to use a clean iron electrode as the anode.
If your goal is to recover pure gold, then using a gold anode is preferred.
For the cathode, you can use copper or titanium plates.

One important note: using neutral materials like graphite as electrodes is not always suitable for all electrolysis conditions.
I’ll be discussing this issue more deeply in future videos.

Thank you so much to everyone who likes and comments on the videos.
I sincerely appreciate your support!❤️
